Walker improvement process, at work in heat treating

$15.00

In an effort to reduce cost and increase productivity in the authors’ heat treating process (annealing), a method of reducing all cycle times while maintaining high quality levels was developed. The start of all annealing cycles requires that the furnace be purged of all oxygen allowed in the enter-cover with each new furnace load. This purge previously took place with a cold furnace and a duration of 2 hours.
